50mething AKA Paul Jenner, makes music with a mission. His songs range from intensely heartbreaking themes to moments that are outright absurd, using the same platform to address big, real-world issues. His first album, “aLl TheSe THinGs,” is a two-part CD that came out in April 2024, inspired by what he’s lived through over the previous four years, moving from darkness and loss toward flashes of hope.
50mething is back with a new single, “Obsession.” From the jump, the track hits with amazing keyboard work and heavy, bouncy bass that gives it a head-bopping vibe right away.

The vocals are enjoyable and easy on the ears, and the song carries an intersectional tone that adds more layers, making it feel more complex in a good, meaningful way rather than just catchy-for-catchiness’ sake.

Musically, it’s also retro-driven, pulling you straight back to the good old ’80s. In the chorus, you get bright melodic touches along with tightly stacked vocal harmonies, which makes the hook feel extra satisfying and replayable.
The arrangement keeps building momentum, and just when you think you’ve figured out the pattern, a punchy horn section drops in unexpectedly. It all wraps up with a clean, confident finish.
